Beyond scale to efficiency: a dual-perspective framework for green finance in China by Ren Wang, Yicheng Duan, Danchen Li

“…Through temporal trend comparisons and spatial correlation analysis, the study finds: (1) The technical efficiency of China's green industries generally shows a steady upward trend in technical efficiency, while the allocation efficiency of green finance among and between industries shows an overall fluctuating upward trend; (2) The rate of convergence in allocation efficiency within the green finance industry across different regions is much faster than that between industries, suggesting that reallocation of financial resources among industries faces greater obstacles; (3) Inter-industry allocation efficiency of green finance exhibits a more significant positive spatial autocorrelation than within-industry allocation efficiency, elucidating the impact of local government's strategic interaction behavior on green finance development; and (4) The spatial correlation of inter-industry allocation efficiency in green finance is less than that of within-industry allocation efficiency, yet it is more closely associated with the technical efficiency of the green industry, signifying that local financial resource competition affects the efficiency of green finance development. …”

Study on the morphological and physiological characteristics of roots in rice genotypes with contrasting P efficiency by LI Yong-fu, LUO An-cheng, HUANG Ji-de, WEI Xing-hua

“…Lianzhen 11 showed higher root secreted APA than Jia 948 at deficient P treatment; whereas there was no difference at sufficient P treatment. In conclusion, compared to genotype Jia 948, the higher P efficiency of Lianzhen 11 can be explained by the fact that Lianzhen 11 has a greater root system and maintains a higher root secreted APA and lower K_m and C_min under P-deficient conditions.…”
